The study involved four major activities in estimating the market size for flame retardants. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Post that, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources used in this study included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; certified publications; articles from recognized authors; and gold standard & silver standard websites such as Factiva, ICIS, Bloomberg, and others. The findings of this study were verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key officials such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and other executives. The breakdown of profiles of the primary interviewees is illustrated in the figure below:

Market Definition
Flame retardants are substances or chemicals that are included in a variety of goods to lessen their flammability and delay the spread of fires. They are applied to improve fire safety in a variety of industries and applications. When a substance is exposed to a flame or other heat source, flame retardants either prevent the material from igniting or delay its combustion. The primary purpose of flame retardants is to improve fire safety by reducing the risk of ignition, limiting the spread of flames, and reducing the release of toxic smoke and gases during a fire. They are used to protect people, property, and valuable assets from the devastating effects of fires.
